Labor has finally got off the fence on Marinus Link, and surprise, surprise it’s the same side as the Greens.

Treasurer, Michael Ferguson, said that Labor’s decision to side with the Greens and cancel Marinus will take a wrecking ball to the Tasmanian economy.

“This is a reckless decision that threatens the future of the Marinus Link and will put a knife through the heart of the Tasmanian economy,” Minister Ferguson said.

“The Marinus Link is a vital economic enabler for Tasmania that will generate a massive $1.4 billion investment, 1,400 direct jobs and, let’s not forget - energy security.

"Our Government took action to secure Marinus on a deal that’s good for Tasmania last September.

Make no mistake, Ms White’s announcement today puts the future of Marinus at extreme risk – who will invest in it now that her energy spokesman said “investing in it is throwing good money after bad?"

"It is becoming increasingly clear, a Labor Government in coalition with the Greens, independents and Lambie would take a wrecking ball to our economy.

"A real Coalition of Chaos.

"They want to stop the AFL team (Greens policy).

"They want to stop Marinus (Greens policy).

"What’s next… salmon? Forestry? Mining?

"The only way to keep Tasmania strong is to vote for a majority Rockliff Liberal Government."
